Thermy's™ Food Safety Rules

Always use a food thermometer when you cook. A food thermometer will help you make sure your food has reached a high enough temperature to kill harmful bacteria.

The color of cooked meat—whether it's pink or brown inside—can fool you. The only way to be sure cooked food is safe to eat is by using a food thermometer.

Place the thermometer in the thickest part of most foods, away from any bones and fat.
